Played my second round at Newcastle ( http://www.newcastlegolf.com/subcontent.aspx?SecID=377 ) with the 2.0's and was just as impressed as the first. Already, I would recommend these clubs to anyone who asked, especially if you are length challenged. Here are some highlights.
Hole 1: 535 yard par 5. Drove it in the right rough. Hit a layup 5 iron about 200 out of a deep lie. Had about 90 left and made par
Hole 2: Downhill 212 yard par 3. Here we go, my favorite new 200 yard club... 6iron. I still can't believe this is my 200 yard club. Hit it beautifully but pull it left. Just left of the green and bunker pin high. Bogey
Hole 3: Downhill 320 yard drivable par 4. Hit my 6 iron again. Love this thing! Another slight pull, but bomb it 225 downhill. Ball flight is awesome. Barely in the left rough, missed my birdie putt.
Hole 4: 490 yard par 5. First chance to hit the 4 iron. Honestly wasn't comfy since I havent hit one in a couple of years. Had 220 yards slightly uphill into a bottleneck. Not much room on either side of the green. I set up to play a fade because that is my natural shot. Took about 7 practice swings and let it rip. Great contact, great feel, great sound, BAD result. HAHA. The ball had about 5 feet of fade on it, and I slightly pulled it. It was only about 30 feet offline, but enough to one hop into the wetland hazard left. The ball flight was very nice, and loved the minor fade, ball traveled about 210 uphill into the woods. I over thought it. Should have just fired at the flag. Double Bogey.
Hole 7: slightly uphill 150 yard par 3. Hit 9 iron. Ball landed on th front, but it had too much spin and backed off the front about 10 feet. Par
Hole 9: 144 yard par 3. Hit PW to 10 feet for birdie. Par
Hole 10: 470 yard par 5. Had 7 iron from 180 and hit it on the back fringe about 20 feet over the pin in 3. Made the fringe putt. Birdie.
Hole 11: 177 yard uphill par 3. Sucker pin buried on the right over a bunker with trouble everywhere. Need a 150 yard carry to clear the marsh. Aimed center of green with my 7 iron. Hit it exactly where I aimed. So good I wish I would have aimed at the sucker pin. Had a nearly 60 foot putt and 3 putted. Played it exactly how I planned. Didn't go at a tough pin, hit middle of green, and still lose a shot. UGGGHH. HAHA. Bogey.
Hole 14: 334 yard uphill par 4: Had 140 uphill out of deep rough. Hit 9 and chunked it a bit. Ball went about 110 yards right at the pin. First loose shot with my irons of the day. Divot was huge, but even. Tells me my lie angle is good! Double Bogey
Hole 15: 143 yard par 3. PW and again, hit it a bit fat. Not a good swing at all, hit about 2 inches behind the ball and only hit it about 125 yards. Got up and down. Par
Hole 16: 430 yard par 4. Toughest hole on the back 9. Hit a good drive yet it leaked into the rough on the right. Had 157 yards to a back pin out of the rough. There was a backstop directly behind the pin so I could hit it 163 and it would come back to the hole. Hit it 164! Seriously! 1 yard too far and it hung up in the rough. Loved the shot. High and tracking the pin. If it was 2 feet shorter it would have hit the slope and had a chance to go in. Now I am short sided and downhill. Couldn't get up and down. Bogey
In summation, I am very impressed with the 2.0's, maybe even moreso than the first round. I hit them very straight and very long. I also just can't seem to get over how great it feels when you hit these right. So smooth. Ended up shooting 83.
The KBS Tour shafts are everything I thought they would be, and the combo with the 2.0 head is just plain AWESOME! My ball flight is slightly lower than it was with the R9 and I am very happy about that. I had a tendancy to balloon the R9 and have had no such issues so far with the 2.0. The look at address is very pleasing to my eye and the two tone look is very cool if nothing else. Every time I pull one out of the bag I think to myself how lucky I am to have these and how pretty they are.
